Hamad International Airport (HIA)

Project Overview

Client: Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC)
Contractor: UBT JV
Solution: 50.6 MP Time-Lapse Camera with solar-powered operation, equipped with remote wiper and washer pump.

Challenges

Hamad International Airport’s ongoing expansion and operational projects demanded a robust monitoring solution that could capture high-resolution visuals of a sprawling site. Key challenges included:

  1. Site Complexity and Coverage:
    • The vast area of the airport required a system capable of detailed monitoring without blind spots.
  2. Environmental Factors:
    • Dust, high humidity, and extreme temperatures in Qatar posed a threat to the functionality and clarity of conventional cameras.
  3. Energy Sustainability:
    • Limited access to traditional power sources on remote parts of the site necessitated a reliable, eco-friendly power solution.
  4. Data Management:
    • Frequent and high-resolution image capture (every minute) demanded robust data storage and easy access for analysis.

Solution

To address these challenges, Widelapse deployed a tailored solution that included:

  1. Advanced Camera Technology:
    • Installed a 50.6 MP time-lapse camera capable of capturing high-resolution images every minute to document project progress in detail.
  2. Remote Maintenance Features:
    • Integrated a remote wiper and washer pump to ensure lens clarity, minimizing the impact of dust and environmental factors.
  3. Solar Power System:
    • Implemented a solar-powered energy solution to sustain camera operations in remote areas without access to the electrical grid, reducing operational costs and supporting sustainability goals.
  4. Seamless Data Management:
    • Provided cloud-based storage to securely archive images and enable real-time access for stakeholders.
  5. Comprehensive Monitoring Interface:
    • Delivered an intuitive platform for contractors and project managers to review, share, and analyze time-lapse videos and image archives.

Outcome

  • Enhanced Project Oversight: The high-resolution, real-time monitoring system enabled stakeholders to track progress, identify bottlenecks, and validate work completion.
  • Sustainability: Solar-powered cameras reduced the project’s environmental footprint and ensured uninterrupted monitoring.
  • Cost Efficiency: Reduced the need for frequent site visits, cutting operational costs and improving resource allocation.
  • Improved Collaboration: The centralized platform facilitated better communication between HMC, UBT JV, and other stakeholders by offering instant access to project visuals.

This deployment at Hamad International Airport demonstrates Widelapse’s ability to provide reliable, intelligent monitoring solutions tailored to complex projects in demanding environments.
